@nojo: Hmmmm…no site mention although MSNBC (and others) poach around these here parts? And won’t allow the MSNBC ad? I smell a new story…

@Nabisco: We were referred to collectively as “a group of Bozo Truthers.”

@nojo: It’s better on the big screen. You can make out the “Not the MSNBC ad” and the comments of Dodger, DaveH, Manchu, RML, me(!), mellbell, Karen Marie, and you.

Congratulations everyone, but especially to Karen Marie and Nojo!

@Signifying Nothing: Well, they gave the billboard a good, long still, and the billboard has the site name on it. They also highlighted the other billboard in the show opener.

Yes, of course I’d love a ringtone with Keef saying “Stinque”. But hey, karen marie’s probing question Saturday can now be directly traced to Musto wearing a witch outfit on national television. We could do worse.

Coming up now…I get to see it!

OMFG – just saw the intro – we were #1?!?! I didn’t realize that.

Nojo, did you fall off your couch 3 hours ago (when this first aired)?

Wowzer!! I was at a conference and missed it. Will we get, like, residuals? We need to talk to Benedick. Tear him away from the Little Mermaid statue and get him on the StinquePhone.

@Dodgerblue: Unfortunately most hotels don’t get MSNBC (maybe the Mormon-owned Marriott conspiracy) but if your hotel does, check if it’s on because it’s on right now in the West Coast.

Wait a second, why is story #3 featuring the TPM ThinkProgress blogger who broke the story on the foreign Chambers of Commerce funding politicians and there was no hamster interviewed for story #1?

ADD: RML is going to have to go out to Newark, Delaware to educate those Joisey Show thugs outside Celibabe’s campaign headquarters who were disrespectful to RML’s secret lesbian girlfriend Rachel Maddow.

/apologies for being 3 hours behind y’all, the perils of being on the West Coast and not near a teevee at 4 or 5 pm

@Dodgerblue: Uhh, no comment w/r/t porn, just saying Nojo is #1 on the countdown.. It’s coming up now (so to speak).

Holy fucking shit. That was a lovely lingering screen shot…that ironically caught the “Not MSNBC ad” ad. Nojo and KM, Senior Clown Correspondent, I am in awe at the pop culture meme you two have created. Well fucking done.

The fake Bozo is cracking me up.

And Keef seemed so blown away that he described today “as the last day of life as we know it” after that segment.

I think it’s time for a FCS post, BTW.

Mmmm … kay – missed the stinque bit on the teevee, so I need a linque. QVVVICKLY!

@¡Andrew!: No, it means we need to talk about hawt kahks even more now, and get Flying Chainsaw out of his bunker to bring down some apocalyptic fury and Satan ass-phucking.

@karen marie, Stinque Senior Clown Correspondent: I meant to say earlier, I LURVE deviled eggs. Like seriously and somewhat scarily love them. I am sort of obnoxious at any party or dinner that features them. It’s been many a holiday at my out-laws’ house where all I could eat was the deviled eggs. Serious football blocks of others.

Please tell me, what’s your secret to getting the egg shell to come off smoothly and not have the outside of the eggs look all bedraggled and the shell in 200 little chips? Old eggs? Salt? Vinegar? Low heat to high heat? I’ve heard thousands of old wives tales, I’ve tried all of them, and I am such a spaz that none of them work for me, so if you have a new approach I’d like to hear it. Otherwise, I’m body-checking Cubbie and Manchu in the buffet line to get your eggs first. I assume you sprinkle some red pepper flakes and Tabasco on them like in Tejas, or is that on the side?

@SanFranLefty: Some people say Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should not be a federal agency, but part of a great weekend.

That being said, I doan drank around my reloading area, and the ceegars are way far away in time and space. I have reloaded while hungover (and while watching “On the Beach”) and that was a bad move cuz I made them too hot (too much powder), so I have a bunch of rounds to pull and redo. Son of RML and I like to burn the leftover/waste powder on the bench when I’m done for a nice little “foosh!”

@SanFranLefty: Well SFL. This is what I do. I boil zer eggs, and then let them cool.

Whip out a chopping board, tap on the top, tap on the bottom so the shell fractures. Then put the egg on its side and apply gentle pressure to the egg (just so you hear a *crack*) then roll the egg across the chopping board until the shell is evenly shattered.

Now go to the top, or bottom of the egg, and peel the shell off. If you’re lucky you can get the amniotic sac type thing (skin as I call it) and use that to peel off the shattered shell.

Not good for soft boiled eggs though.

Any shell left on the egg (Googie, cackle berry) can be washed off under a cold tap.

@CheapBoy: I love that this question of mine, of all damn things, got you to come in from the Outback for a while.

But I know how to crack ‘em — I have THAT technique down, I guess my question goes back earlier into the carton. To wit, how the bloody hell do you get to that point? When others boil them, I can smoothly peel them. Mock all you want, but I cannot properly boil a hard-boiled egg so that it doesn’t look like it has acne when you peel it. Srsly. How long do you boil the eggs? What do you throw in the water? I know how to crack them and skin under the egg-skin. I’m trying to figure out how to get the egg-skin membrane loose. Some folks say peel them as soon as you boil them, but they go bad faster than if you keep them hardboiled shell on the outside.

These are the sort of hard-hitting things we need to resolve here at Stinque when we’re not researching Part-Time-Bozo.

Nojo you bitch I was distracted by discussing hard boiled eggs with our Aussie and Senior Bozo Birther and then you go and delete that Keef video clip I had successfully embedded in the comments?

Aren’t we getting all diva around here.. :P

@SanFranLefty: Yeah, I Bigfooted it. Kinda pointless of me, but I wanna save something for the morning, even if it’s pro forma.

There’s a broader Unspoken Policy at work: As I discovered early, WordPress only allows Above-the-Timestampers to post videos and photos in comments. Rather than piss everyone off because I can do cool things they can’t, I usually don’t exercise the privilege.

Plus, I like keeping things text-only down here. Easily gets out of hand otherwise.

Ahh, got it. I was confused by the sudden majic power I had. Must use my super-powers for good and equality. I dig it. So between now and the 4 am (our time) Morning Sedition, lemme know if you have advice on egg boiling technique. It’s harder than it might sound in popular culture.

3:41 am • Wednesday • October 6, 2010

@SanFranLefty: Not sure how many decades it’s been since I boiled eggs, but I vaguely recall that they’re easier to peel warm. If you try to peel fridged eggs, that’s when everything sticks.

Still a crapshoot whether you can peel without pocking. Some eggs just can’t hold it together.

And not so much basking, but Googling like mad. For the second night in a row. Wanna see how this plays to the crowd.

4:20 am • Wednesday • October 6, 2010

@SanFranLefty: Well, I normally put the eggs in a saucepan filled with cold water, then bring to boil. Boil for 3 mins. Oh and BTW. Let eggs come up to room temp before beginning to cook them. Otherwise they will crack. (I keep my goggies in the fridge)

Empty boiling water out and refill the saucepan with cold water until the eggs are covered.

Let eggs cool until you can hold them in your hand then do the tap and roll thing.

It’s the only way I can do hard boiled eggs.

@Nabisco: Well if you add some curry powder and mayo to the mashed eggs, you will never forget about eggs.

put the eggs in cold water.
boil 5 minutes after water simmers, not roils
let sit there on the burner 5 minutes after you turn the heat off
run under cool water a few minutes.
put in fridge to chill.
peel easily.
poifect!!

it’s tricky, but follow our instructions and you won’t feel like a BOZO !!
